My favorite books

 Hello my Ravens. As a writer I am obviously also a reader even if it sometimes takes three months for me to read a book with my attention span. This is a video of some of my favorite books. Hope you enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Fa9sW26qWk

Why did I become a writer?

Hello my Ravens. I realize I have not been very active lately and  now consider anyone who blogs daily to be a superhero. But, I thought i would share another one of my videos and it answers a question I get asked a lot or at least different versions of it. When did I start writing? How long have I been writing? Why did I start writing? All of those questions are answered right here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SDGmWL18Jk

Baltimore Ravens week 1

Well my Ravens, time to talk about your name sake. I hated seeing the Broncos as our week 1 opponents, because since I began watching the Ravens in 2006 I have only watched the Ravens beat him once and that was the mile high miracle that lead to our Superbowl 47 victory. The bad news. We lost, which always stinks. The good news? Our defense looked incredible. (Note: Terrell Suggs suffered an Achilles injury and is out for the season.)Any time you keep Peyton Manning out of the end zone all game, you have done something! The offense was very anemic in the first half of the game, but picked up some in the second half. Unfortunately it was two key interceptions thrown by Joe Flacco that swung the game into the Broncos favor. One was a pick 6 and the other was in the end zone at the very end. But, I still love my QB and will wear his Jersey with pride. I guess the bright side was that we were in it until the very end and that being without our speedy rookie Breshawn Perriman. Offense needs

Sample from "The Bone Spirit"

Jamie Conrad sat next to his bed hung-over. Outside the rain bounced off of his tin roof. He reeked of alcohol and would need a thorough shower before leaving the house. His heart pounded inside of his head and each drop of rain sounded like an amplified drumbeat. He had to get the horrible morning taste out of his mouth or he would soon vomit. James hadn't always been such a heavy drinker, but since the writer's block began, it had become a regular thing. A fairly successful author, his first two books had hit the top five on the on the New York Times best seller list. After his third novel, his ideas had just dried up, like someone turning off a faucet. What began as a minor annoyance soon evolved into full-blown stress. That was when he began to see the skeleton man. Now, here he sat in his own filth, feeling like he was losing his mind. James walked into the bathroom, and after relieving himself, took a long look into the mirror. Huge bags rimmed bloodshot eyes. His

A good year for videogames

2015 has been a great year for videogames. every time I think I have found my nominee for game of the year I find something else! Of course there may be more popular and worthy titles as these are just my opinions. First there was Mortal Kombat X in which I played to death. It gave us a great story, a great collection of Classic and new characters, the tower mode is a way to endlessly challenge yourself and everyone across the globe for the highest score and the incredible DLC of Jason Voorhees and The Predator! Throw in the ton of costumes, Tanya and Tremor and you have hours and hours of fun. I recently got a hold of a copy of Dragon age Inquisition and it is hands down better than the first two put together. There are seemingly endless side missions to go along with the main story. You have great new allies including some returning from the first two games and multiple romance paths you can take to make things even more interesting. I recently beat the game, but I now have both of
